The Team Foundation Build Extensions provide the ability to execute Ant or Maven 2 builds from Team Foundation Server and publish the results of the build along with any associated JUnit test results back to Team Foundation Server.

Alerts Editor

They made some small improvements to the Alerts Editor.

Moved from the team project tree in Team Explorer to a submenu item of the Team Project Collection. This change highlights the scope of the tool, which is at the project collection level, and reduces confusion between the projects alert and the old alerts node.

Simplified UI scheme and more default alerts around Team Build scenarios.

Portals And Reports

In TFS 2010, it’s possible to install Sharepoint but not Sharepoint portals and reports. To add them later you can now use

tfpt addprojectportal - Create a project portal for an existing Team Project that doesn't currently have one.

tfpt addprojectreports - Create (or overwrite) the reports for an existing Team Project.

Best Practices Analyzer

And of course also some improvements in the Best Practices Analyzer. TFS 2010 brings a lot of new capabilities that really changes the breadth and depth of health checks necessary.
